To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a brand new epic novel from New York Times bestselling author Christopher Paolini. Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds. Now she's awakened a nightmare. During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move . As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human. While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope . . .

Vast sci-fi that’s packed full of info and events. It was overwhelming to read, but I enjoyed it. I’m disappointed with the ending but I also agree it had to be this way. I’m a sucker for endings and this one has me torn. Still a great story though. ( )

So, in this book there's an AI and it calls some of the ppl it works for "meatbag"! Can you imagine? AI is supposed to be respectful and this one is snide! Wow, great stuff. That and so many more piping fresh ideas about SF in this masterpiece. ( )
Great characters, absolutely incredible audio book reading, fun action and drama, a pretty ok world, ok plot… and in the end it didn’t open my thinking much to new ideas despite featuring many. Possibly because the author emphasises action and drama over ideas.
The problem with this book is that it is primarily a fantasy adventute and only secondarily honours some of the interesting ideas conveyed in its world. The last chapters include long discussion about the background world physics but in a sci-fi story i would have expected that to be integral core of the story. ( )
